  1. And how long will this go on? on Rescued Banks Sought Foreign Help During Meltdown · · Score: 1

    They recklessly kept pushing derivative ponzi schemes until they collapsed, then brazenly took billions from the government to stuff in their own pockets, and continue displacing american workers with cheaper foreign labor. These people are morally corrupt, to the capital CORE.

  2. Probably better, it will be their adult world on Learning To Read With Click and Jane · · Score: 1

    It matters not one bit whether they learn to read on my lap in front of a physical book, or on my lap in front of a computer screen. The important thing is that I'm there teaching them how to expand their knowledge. After they've learned how to read, I think it's extremely important that they learn how to use computing and the internet to keep expanding their knowledge. If I can give them a computing environment to explore and learn to exploit, you bet I will. They will need that skill as an adult.

  3. And sensors that can tell when women are ovulating on New Ads That Watch You · · Score: 1

    ...so the security guys can hit on them at just the right time.

  4. Re:Depends on your crime on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    dang, where are my mod points when I want to use them.

  5. I used to be abused, but I'm not any more on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 1

    Yes, I did have to change jobs. That "abuse" job was an awesome IT job for a small company for the first 6 years - being the technology "everything" for a ~40FTE nonprofit - but one day my boss just went berserk. Suddenly I'm in the land of unrealistic timelines, constant threats to my job, etc. It was a work environment that changed from positive to punitive. My mistake was giving the guy and the rest of the place a chance to come to their senses. Ha ha. Yeah, right.

    The craziness never let up. I finally took ANY other job I could get - at a big pay cut - to get out of that place. Today, almost 5 years later, I barely put in a straight 40, get paid MORE, and get much better benefits, than if I had stayed in that shitty, abusive environment.

    PS: the nutbag that pushed me out of that company eventually got fired, and the rest of them asked me to come back to work there. Unfortunately, they had hired another, different kind of nutjob as an IT manager. Insert "fool me once..." I got a nice raise from my current employer out of the deal though.

  6. You miss the point on Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire · · Score: 1

    Natural breastfeeding is thousand times more convenient than bottle storage, let alone formula handling. It's free, it's almost always ready, and it's incredibly effective. I fully support a woman's right to breastfeed any age child, anytime, anywhere.

  7. The US Federal Reserve System on Using Lasers To Generate Random Numbers Faster · · Score: 1

    And all the gassbags that run it. Their RNG's have been getting really stressed out lately.

  8. Frist Post! on Print News Fading, Still Source of Much News · · Score: 3, Funny

    You know it's very important to be the frist one to break the news.

  9. I'll probably never buy another desktop on Notebook Sales Outpace Desktop Sales · · Score: 1

    Wireless access is getting good, portables are useful. Keep in touch, will ya?

  10. Well, then get me a beer on Denver Couple Unveils Homemade Service Robot · · Score: 0

    slave.

  11. Doomed in the same way record labels are on Are Newspapers Doomed? · · Score: 1

    Because tech has made information distribution virtually free. If your business model relies on a now-false scarcity of information distribution, it's going to fail. Journalists and journalism can survive by being heard in the new mediums, but the business model of making money by controlling the distribution is in trouble.

  12. God and the Big Bang on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 1

    God and in the Big-Bang: Oh God, Oh God, OH GOD!... BANG! - No problem believing in that!

  13. Re:Do I mind if the government keeps my DNA on fil on Human Rights Court Calls UK DNA Database a 'Breach of Rights' · · Score: 1

    That's what got O.J. off the hook.

  14. I can post to, and watch, YouTube for "free" on Lessig Launches Open Transition Principles · · Score: 4, Funny

    And everyone else I know can, too. It's very ubiquitous. If "open/free" makes it any more difficult to access than YouTube, it's toast. With Jelly. And peanut butter. Yum!

  15. I only wish I had hallucinations of my late kitty on Visual Hallucinations Are a Normal Grief Reaction · · Score: 1

    But I see pictures of him every day on my computer's desktop background. Maybe I don't need to hallucinate about him because of that.

    He was the coolest. He was given to me as a father's day gift. His name was Dude, and he fit that name perfectly. He was only 4 years old and showed up one morning out of the blue with some kind of brain disorder. I never thought I saw or heard him again, I just cried a lot.

  16. die squirrels die! on Acorns Disappear Across the Country · · Score: 0

    I've killed several that have gotten into my attic. Pests.

  17. Change in every other tech is huge... on 18% of Consumers Can't Tell HD From SD · · Score: 1

    but consumer TV video only gets marginally better after 50 years? I say give those old fart engineers that designed SD video some cred.

    I work in A/V, recently installed about 30 52" flat panel displays (native 720 pixel res), and have been testing SD, various res of PC video, and 1080p on these things. Everyone that looks can tell a difference, but nobody says "Wow!" It just isn't that much of a change.

  18. Frist psot? on Lenovo Service Disables Laptops With a Text Message · · Score: 5, Funny

    From a stolen lapt

  19. Re:Universities still need to police their network on Judge Excludes 3 "John Does" From RIAA Subpoena · · Score: 5, Informative

    I work at a U, and they charge the students, faculty, staff, departments, and everything else that has any money, an obscene amount of money for a network connection. Students ARE paying, and barely getting their money's worth, even when file sharing.

  20. OMG! Flowcharts! on McDonalds Files To Patent Making a Sandwich · · Score: 1

    now I'm all excited. Thanks,

  21. Wake me when they're really cheap and fast on Urine Passes NASA Taste Test · · Score: 1

    because it would be a big step forward for worldwide water sanitation.

  22. Hell, it only takes me a few hundred nanoseconds on Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds · · Score: 1

    ...to kick my windows. Oh, THAT boot? Nevermind.
